My local TRU's and Wal Marts suck, so I'm going to have to go with Gamestop. Still can't find any covenant though.

I'm mostly looking for the Red Spartan Soldier, the one with the big yellow helmet, Chieftain Brute, and Master Chief.

You looking for the EVA one with the large gold visor? I have an extra MOC one fs if that's the one you want. C+S, I have a thread in the BST with a pic of it.

Excellent offer, but I wanna try my luck around here first. Thank you though.

All 5 super wal marts in my area have two stand-up boxes with just Brute Chief''s left. I mean both rowse full! No Spartans, nothing else left. Just more chieftans than the eye can see...

I've seen them at all 3 in the DC metro area plus my LCS. Wal Mart was plucked clean first but the other stores had plenty in stock.
TRU has only gotten one case here, and a lousy selection at that, since they have only the Master Chief and Red Mark VI for Spartans. Gamestop last week was a gold mine, as was Wal-Mart, though I'm not sure that both Wal-Marts here got them. Just one.

I'd say WM, then TRU, then GS.

I'd say Wal-Mart, then Gamestop. I'm not sure about TRU, as I haven't even checked there.

The Walmart in my area has basic figures. Gamestop in my area has the different helmets(cbq) etc.

I tried TRU and Hastings today, both had nothing. And Hastings is known for carrying video game figures. So my last two stores are Game Stop and Wal-Mart. If those fail, anyone know good online stores where they're being sold?

The Wal-Marts in North Houston have been cleaned out (I helped). Toys R Us don't know anything about them yet. Gamestops have had them, but they are slowly running low. I had to buy the Grunts at Gamestop because WM never got them. Most WM have one Chief and one Brute left, that's about it. Gamestop is more likely to restock faster.

WM never got the 1 to a case Grunts?

Well, I checked Hastings yesterday, nothing as usual. They did have the AVP:R figures, which were released like 3 months ago. Thats how my Hastings works, when figures have set release dates, they never get them on those release dates. Instead they get them about 4 or 6 ****ing months later.

No. I hit three WM's with untouched stock, and they had MC, Cortana, Brute, Jackal and Red and Blue Mark VI's. No EVA, no CQB and no grunts. Weird, huh?

are you sure it was untouched?
This is the first I've heard of a Gruntless WM case. How many figures in total were there?
Here's what I saw...
EVA was in the CQB case with the Green Grunt, so that makes sense... the Mark VI's came together along with the Orange Grunt. Cortana and the Grunt were single packed and the Grunt was sitting in the back left of the leftmost display. 8 figures to a display, 2 displays per case, 16 figures in all.

I know they were untouched b/c I helped them unbox at two WM's. The case breakdown was(roughly)
2 MC, 2 Brute, 1 Jackal, 1 Cortana and 1 each of the red and blue Mark VI's. Every case/display was the same. Each store had six of the 8-figure display boxes.

So they came in a box of 8 or 2 displays to a case, ie: a total of 3 cases?
If they were 8 to a case, that's a new one on me. If they were 16 to a case then it sounds like you got dupe cases since the Blue Mark VI's should be 3 to a case of 16. The second display had 1 MC, 1 Brute, 1 Jackal, 0 Cortana, 2 Red, 2 Blue and 1 Grunt.

I have had luck with my local Gamestop, since I know everyone there. I did find my Red Eva at F.Y.E, so that is another place to check. But for the love of it, I cannot find the blue spartans anywhere. All Wal-Marts that I have hit in the Bay Area, Sacramento and Stockton, don't even have Halo figures in stock.
